Pinning a Remote Desktop or Application to the Start
Screen
You can pin a remote desktop or application to the Start screen by right-clicking the desktop or application
on the desktop and application selection window and selecting Pin to Start from the context menu.
If you are not logged in to the server when you tap the remote desktop or application on the Start screen,
Horizon Client prompts you to authenticate to the server before it starts the remote desktop or application.
If you are already logged in to the server, the remote desktop or application starts and you do not need to
authenticate to the server.
Prevent Screen Lock
After a certain amount of idle time, the Windows 10 device might dim the display, activate the lock screen,
or power down the display to conserve power. You can set an option to prevent screen lock for a remote
desktop or application.
Note Windows 10 devices register watching and listening as user idle time. The amount of idle time
required before screen lock occurs depends on the device's user settings.
Procedure
1 Connect to a remote desktop or application.
2 Tap the Option button in the floating menu in the remote desktop or application window and tap
Setting.
3 Expand the Advanced section and tap to toggle the Screen always on option to On.
If the option is set to Off, screen lock may occur.
Multitasking
You can switch between Horizon Client and other apps without losing a remote desktop or application
connection.
You can resize the Horizon Client app so that it takes up part of the screen alongside another app.
If you leave a session idle for some amount of time, before the session times out, you receive a prompt,
asking if you want to keep the session alive. Tap or click anywhere on the screen or press a key on your
keyboard to keep the session alive. If enough time has passed so that the connection to the remote
desktop or application was lost, Horizon Client returns to the desktop and application selection window
and prompts you to reconnect.
